WICKED (2024) SUCKS!

This movie might have ended a relationship.
Lady I've been dating has asked me since it came out to go see Wicked. I have politely declined. I read the book way back when. It was ok. Never cared to see the show. I'm good.
This week it comes out for streaming and we both have the day off. She asks, "Can we watch Wicked?" I have no easy way out of this, so I say, "Sure."
I've endured bad movies before. Hour and a half ... two hours? frick it. You can find something amusing about it and suffer in silence.
Now, I am no musical hater. I was in theater from the age of 5-23. I love musicals. I was carrying the banner with the Newsies last Tuesday. But this thing.... this thing.
I have never watched a film and felt that 2.5 hours of my life was STOLEN from me until I saw this thing.
I kept waiting for the good part. I knew there must be a good part because it made a BILLION dollars at the box office, but the first hour and a half were a lead up to frickING PROM! Two obviously 30+ year old women obsessed with fricking PROM. The music certainly defied gravity as there was absolutely no gravitas to anything I heard.
Ariana Grande looked like a fricking alien cosplaying as a preteen!
The last 30 minutes or so were alright with Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum doing their thing, but I just couldn't be bothered to really give a shite.
This movie sucked. I guess the musical sucks.
I liked the goat for his 9 minutes of screen time.
Rarely does a movie evoke pure revulsion in me. I did not expect it to be this one. It was.

I watched it yesterday, I thought it was really good, sorry you didnt like it.
oh and this
That wasn't prom, they went out to a club. They are at University, no one is a preteen. You said you read the book, they are aged up from the book in the musical and movie.

Between the Grande and Gomez girl, I’m just not into sexualizing girls that look like they’re 13 years old.

Pretty cool story on the cast. The girl in the wheelchair is my high school wrestling coaches niece. He told me the story of how she got the role last weekend.
Movie was just ok. I saw the play in Atlanta a year ago and enjoyed it much better. Kind of a let down that there is a part 2

I recently watched this with my daughter and I enjoyed it.
However, I apparently completely missed the prom subplot.

Popular… this take will be popular.

Is this another one of those things where they take an obvious POS character and try to make you emphasize with them by saying they’re just “misunderstood” instead of being the POS they were originally written as? I know nothing about the book or play.

You were a terrible actor that can't analyze for shite if this is what you thought of the first hour and a half.

That wasn't a prom 
I can see how much you were actually paying attention

It must be bad if a gay dude hates it.

So, Im guessing you didn't get laid afterwards. Musicals are a female aphrodisiac.

The Prom thing is a meme about the trope of many movies/stories/plays aimed at women always featuring some dress up and go to a party montage.
I read the book 30 years ago... once.
I am definitely not the target audience for this one. For those saying, I wasn't paying attention, you are right. I checked out after about half and hour and just suffered for an additional two.

It’s a chick flick partially disguised as having serious importance.
It’s actually an Uber chick flick. Now, I don’t mean to knock the chick flick genre. I really enjoy a lot of chick flicks, but this one is a particular type of chick flick.
It excels at tapping into female jealousy of other females, and packs a ton of emotion into two rival girls being frenemies.
That shite just doesn’t resonate with the majority of men. It seems really petty and unnecessary.
There are also dude films that touch on male competition that women probably don’t truly get. Some are done well enough with side plots to keep women entertained (original Top Gun, Vision Quest, Karate Kid), but some just appeal to men.
My son and I loved Real Steel, the movie about the fighting robots, but my wife and daughters refused to go with us. No big whoop. We saw Real Steel and they watched something else.
Men don’t drag their wives to see dude movies if they don’t want to go, but women are less inclined to return the favor.

Our version of this is sports

It was a good movie, felt like something Disney wish they could touch with their live action films. It dipped in the middle when the love interest man showed up. Ariana Grande carried the movie. She was cute and campy and played it up the perfect amount a musical adaptation required.

Maybe so. Do men drag their wives/girlfriends to sports events?
I never did.
But this might be a perfect analogy if what you’re saying is that women aren’t actually dragging their men to a chick flick. It’s just that time is limited and they know they want spend to spend time with their spouse, but also want to watch the chick flick. The two are just coincidental. I’d buy that argument.
